Thanks for help and sorry that i write a little bit confusing, it is just the case, that i do not really have a clue, why my system is damaged…that is why it is a little bit confusing… @ Carlos:
- Now the "system hangs up at the point directly after the server directory 389 is reached and is marked with the green OK in the startup screen". I mean by this, that when i press ESC after grub has loaded (so that I escaped the splash screen) I can see all the things loading the system as okay it is already welcoming me in Opensuse 13.1 (Bottle)…And it is nearly loading everything in the system, all with okay, but after [ ok ] Reached target Basic System. Starting Bluetooth service… [ ok ] Reached target 389 Directory Server the system hangs showing me just the cursor _ blinking and doing nothing at all @ Carl: I already waited about 5 minutes, and normally my system is up in about 40 seconds.
@ Carlos:
There is a brute force procedure which _sometimes_ succeeds to restore some big problems. It is booting from the FULL install DVD (not the KDE/Gnome lives), and when asked, choose "upgrade installed system", and follow your nose...
I also thought about that, but I am frightened, that much of my system settings is ruined and have to do a lot of install stuff…That is why i asked you here ;) Just to clarify the stuff with the script: I already deleted the script and links out of /init.d and tried to reboot, but this did not help at all, still I am not even able to run a console via CTRL-ALT-F1 or run the recovery mode. Actually I do not really know how i can make sanity check of my system at this state… THANKS so far and sorry again for so much writing :) - Benjamin. Gesendet: Mittwoch, 23.

Here I am attempting to restate the problem by rearranging your words:
Thanks.
- You were "trying to get a small script working which should sync some folders" ... "The Desktop folder with a dropbox folder."
- The script is/was called "Sync". You "placed this in /etc/init.d and made it executable".
- You created "symbolic links ... in rc0.d and rc6.d":
"ln -s /etc/init.d/Sync /etc/init.d/rc0.d/K10Sync ln -s /etc/init.d/Sync /etc/init.d/rc6.d/K10Sync"
- Now the "system hangs up at the point directly after the server directory 389 is reached and is marked with the green OK in the startup screen".
Now, this thing about "directory 389" I don't understand at all what it is. We need precise clarification of this part in order to make an accurate recommendation.
You also wrote "i might have changed some stuff in /etc/sysctl editor in yast or with regard to the runlevels init.d , but not being aware of it."
These values are easily checked. If you go here <http://www.novell.com/documentation/suse91/suselinux-adminguide/html/ch13s07.html> you'll see it says "The files where the most important SUSE LINUX settings are stored are located in the /etc/sysconfig directory." and "Do not modify the /etc/sysconfig files if you lack previous experience and knowledge. It could do considerable damage to your system. The files in /etc/sysconfig include a short comment for each variable to explain what effect they actually have."
So, if you need to, you can boot into a 'live dvd' or the rescue system and sanity check the settings.
There is a brute force procedure which _sometimes_ succeeds to restore some big problems. It is booting from the FULL install DVD (not the KDE/Gnome lives), and when asked, choose "upgrade installed system", and follow your nose... It basically destroys updates and replaces many configuration files with defaults - but not all. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
